WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio WKXL - NHTalkRadio.com

Give me a big goalie hug please! The Bruins and the Celtics start off the playoffs with game 1 wins this weekend. Tonight, the Bruins get back on the ice with Toronto and The Sports Machine with Slim is here to get you ready for the game! Slim is desperately hoping that Linus Ullmark will be in net for the Bs tonight. Lots of people are suggesting that Swayman would be the better choice. Thomas Poeck, our local, licensed health insurance and medicare broker, is one of the folks who think Swayman should be between the pipes. Thomas and Slim give a master class today during the show on how to handle disagreements. Whoever starts, let's get a game 2 win! The Celts play again on Wednesday night. That gives the Celts a couple of days to think about how they will respond if Miami deals out another cheap shot like Caleb Martin gave to Jayson Tatum at the end of game 1. Slim has an interesting approach to how he would handle things in that scenario lol.

A Monday potpourri edition of the show on the this Earth Day 2024. We touched on the origins of this day back in 1970. Other topics on this Monday; the Celtics and Bruins both in the post season, a possible toll to enter Massachusetts from the Granite State, the first day of the Trump Trial and the opening this weekend of the Pittsfield Players production of the play"Getting Away With Murder" which was co-written by composer Stephen Sondheim, his only non musical show and it's being directed by WKXL's Andrew Gibson.

The Sports Machine with Slim has been ready for months! The playoffs start up for the NHL and NBA this weekend. Both Boston teams, the Celtics and Bruins, have a legitimate shot to win it all. That's not a homer fan voice talking. That's reality. So what does the future have in store for us? My life is going to be much more fun during the next couple of months if the Celtics and Bruins string together series victory after series victory. The Bruins have proven their toughness to me during a fun and resilient regular season. They are a team I now love to watch and root for. The Celtics have the most talent in the NBA. They have been my lifelong love and they have broken my heart many a time. I will cheer for them as loudly and as passionately as I can from my living room couch. Let's. Do. This.

Christopher Ouellette from Chesterton Stage Productions stops in to talk about his love for the work of G.K. Chesterton and the success of their recent production of “Magic: A Fantastical Comedy” in Rochester, NH. CSP is a youth oriented company with workshops, a two week theater camp (which will include a June performance of “Alice Through the Looking Glass”), teen improv class, help with auditions and a Sept. 2024 production of “The Nutcracker and Mouse King”.

It's Friday, which means the Friday Fun Bunch is in the WKXL Studios! Ken Cail interviews Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental and Kitty Rae the OFFICIAL “Flick Chick."

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Miami Heat last night and in the process, Jimmy Butler sustained an injury. Could the Celtics road to the Conference Finals get any easier? The depleted Heat will play the Chicago Bulls Friday night to see who faces the Celtics in round 1 which begins on Sunday.The Boston Bruins face the Toronto Maple Leafs in round 1 starting on Saturday. The Bs are 4-0 against Toronto this year. Will the streak of perfection continue? Time will tell, but The Sports Machine with Slim says YES! This prediction is one of many gifts that are shared with the listening audience today on New Hampshire's next generation sports talk radio show.
